For example, the front left tire may be moved to the rear right position, and the rear right tire may be moved to the front left position. This rotation pattern ensures that each tire experiences different types of wear over time, helping to equalize tread wear and extend tire life

Wheel Alignment & Balancing

Wheel alignment and balancing are essential maintenance services aimed at ensuring optimal tire performance, vehicle handling, and safety.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels to the manufacturer’s specifications. This process corrects the angles of the tires relative to each other and to the road surface. Key alignment angles include camber, caster, and toe. Camber measures the tilt of the tire inwards or outwards from vertical when viewed from the front. Caster measures the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side. Toe measures the angle of the tires relative to each other when viewed from above. Proper wheel alignment ensures even tire wear, stable steering, and improved fuel efficiency. Signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment include uneven tire wear, pulling to one side while driving, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight.

Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing involves evenly distributing the weight of the tire and wheel assembly to prevent vibrations and uneven tire wear. During this process, the tire and wheel are placed on a balancing machine, which detects any imbalances. Small weights are then strategically added or removed to ensure that the assembly rotates smoothly. Balancing is particularly important for smooth and comfortable driving, as imbalanced wheels can cause vibrations felt through the steering wheel or vehicle body. It also helps to preserve suspension components and prolong tire life.

By regularly performing wheel alignment and balancing services, you can optimize tire performance, extend tire life, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance overall vehicle safety and handling. It’s generally recommended to have wheel alignment checked annually or whenever you notice signs of misalignment, and wheel balancing should be performed whenever new tires are installed or if you experience vibrations while driving
